About Freshfield Grove
“We’re an Australian (him) and British (me) husband and wife who’ve bought an olive grove as part of a long term plan to change our lifestyle from city based office jobs to rural Tasmanian self-sufficiency. We’re new to farming, so this is a BIG adventure!
We grow Picual and Manzanillo olives in our grove, in the cool climate of the Coal River Valley in Tasmania. The olives are picked and pressed on site to produce a devilishly delicious Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We also make a soothing Olive Leaf Tea.”
